The days where a steeper price point equals quality and vice versa are long gone. Some brands are so inexpensive, it’s hard to believe they’re so good. One of them is Wet n’ Wild, an American drugstore classic that is now capturing hearts around Europe. Even cheaper than our own Essence, Wet n’ Wild manages to create a wide range of makeup staples for less than $5! View Post
Even after 8 years of blogging, I’m still not immune to gimmicky looking products. In fact, having a blog might actually even encourage ‘irresponsible’ purchases from time to time.

Research what to buy at the French pharmacy, and chances are the Caudalie Beauty Elixir pops up. Last year this beauty cult favourite turned 20 years old, yet its origins lie in the 16th century when it was used as an elixir of youth by Queen Isabelle of Hungary. According to the legend, the Queen’s complexion was so youthful and radiant that it charmed the King of Poland, a man 35 years younger than herself. View Post
Bourjois has a special place in my heart when it comes to base products. The Healthy Mix foundation is one of my all-time favourite drugstore foundations and I really loved the 123 Perfect CC cream too, so I’m always looking forward to the next release. View Post
When the Glamglow Volcasmic Matte Glow Moisturizer came in the mail I had no idea what to expect. Matte glow?? What is that supposed to mean? Confused and convinced it probably was some gimmick I wouldn’t like, I left it in my cabinet for awhile. In my defense, I did have quite a few of moisturizers to review at the time. Once I tried it, I knew I had been holding off on trying what was the most unique formula I tried in years. A closer look at the packaging led me to the words ‘Made in Korea‘ and suddenly everything started to make sense. View Post
Winter may be in full force but I already have my eye on Spring thanks to the lovely new H&M Home Spring 2018 campaign that was partly shot in Hotel Julien in Antwerp. A pretty colour palette of white, soft pink and beige hues combined with simple design and textural elements are key. The second interior trend H&M Home presents for spring is warm minimalism, where animal prints, wood details and handcrafted materials set the tone in a colour palette of neutrals, blue and gray.
